In addition to picking their next mayor and City Council, Norwich voters on Tuesday will decide the fate of a $5 million public works bond that will pay for continued infrastructure repairs and miles of street resurfacing.

Continued maintenance: With taxpayer approval, the borrowing would be the third such bond since 2006, part of a financing plan that put the city on a 20-year paving schedule to complete about eight miles of new streets annually. Since 2007, a third of the city’s roads — just more than 52 miles — have been either repaved or treated, including seven miles this fiscal year.

Where the money would go: The new round of funding would pay for resurfacing in more than a dozen places including the Cherry Hill Area, Greeneville, the city's business park, Sholes Ave., Main St., Canterbury Turnpike and locations around Greeneville .

Other infrastructure work: In addition to upgrading roads, officials would use the rest of the bond to pay for the continued rehabilitation of bridges on Sherman and Sunnyside streets, along with improvements to the Montville Road culvert — a joint project between the city and Montville. The city still has $1.3 million left on a 2009 bond; $700,000 of that is being used on the Montville Road and Sherman and Sunnyside street projects, leaving just $600,000 for paving, or enough for 2.2 miles.

Taxpayer impact: Should the bond go forward, its impact on the mill rate would be minimal over its nine-year lifespan, according to a tax impact document provided by the comptroller. The biggest increase would be a change of 0.21 mills to the property tax rate in 2018 and 2019.
